She might be the envy of girls around the world being Doctor Who’s assistant, but Jenna-Louise Coleman has no confidence when it comes to men.

Admitting she is not a fan of the dating game as she hates the idea of being ‘sat with one person’, the gorgeous 27-year-old has managed to get by in life without ever going on a single date.

‘I’d never been on a date in my life ever because the idea of just being sat with one person…’ she explained.

But the actress says she’s better now she’s a little older, adding to Radio Times: ‘I’ve got a lot better as I’ve got older. If I’m with a group of people I’m okay, but actually I’m quite a nervous person if I’m just one-to-one with somebody.’

And worried she was giving off the wrong impression, she quickly reiterated the fact it’s just one-to-one situations she’s uncomfortable with: ‘I’m making myself sound socially inept here and I’m absolutely fine in a group of people but I am quite shy.’

For a girl that has never gone on date, she’s doing okay as she’s currently dating Game Of Thrones actor Richard Madden.

The pair have been dating since 2011.

Jenna-Louise stars as Clara, the Doctor’s companion, in the BBC show, and it’s clear she loves her job.

‘I have a really cool job and get to do these crazy things and you do have so many “pinch me” moments,’ she added. ‘I’ve just been sent emails with pics of the Clara doll.’
